From left, the vibrant reds and oranges of this Indian-inspired fondant-and-marzipan design by Ellen Baumwoll of Bijoux Douxare perfect for an autumnal affair; the of-the-moment cameos that adorn this baby-blue confection from Alexandra Frankel of Brownstone Cake Company marry vintage style with modern chic; the gold accents and muted earth tones of Collette Foley's five-tiered cake are a subtle nod to the season-and to current fashion trends; fuchsia-tinted dogwoods spring into three dimensions on Kate Sullivan's clever cake, bringing a touch of life to the traditional sugar flowers.
